Its health properties have been related to the major and minor fractions of extra-virgin olive oil. Among olive oil chemical composition, the phenolic fraction has received considerable attention due to its bioactivity in different chronic diseases. The bioactivity of the phenolic compounds could be related to different properties such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, although the molecular mechanism of these compounds in relation to many diseases could have different cellular targets. The aim of this review is focused on the extra-virgin olive oil phenolic fraction with particular emphasis on (a) biosynthesis, chemical structure, and influence factors on the final extra-virgin olive oil phenolic composition; (b) structure–antioxidant activity relationships and other molecular mechanisms in relation to many diseases; (c) bioavailability and controlled delivery strategies; (d) alternative sources of olive biophenols. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive review was developed, with particular emphasis on in vitro and in vivo assays as well as clinical trials. This report provides an overview of extra-virgin olive oil phenolic compounds as a tool for functional food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Keywords: extra virgin olive oil phenolic compounds; chemical structure; bioactivity; bioavailability 1. Introduction Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) represents one of the symbols of the highly valued Mediterranean diet. It is the typical lipidic source in the cuisine of the Mediterranean countries and its consumption has been associated with reduced morbidity and slowing disease progression such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, or even cancer diseases [1–11]. On the basis of all of these considerations, EVOO could be considered as a functional food. Although the European regulation does not have a current definition for functional food, it could be defined as follows: “food products can only be considered Antioxidants 2020, 9, 685; doi:10.3390/antiox9080685 www.mdpi.com/journal/antioxidants Antioxidants 2020, 9, 685 2 of 17 functional if together with the basic nutritional impact it has beneficial effects on one or more functions of the human organism, thus either improving the general and physical conditions or/and decreasing the risk of diseases evolution” [12,13]. The beneficial impact of EVOO in the human organism is well established, and it is due to its composition. The predominant fatty acid present in the virgin olive oil is monounsaturated oleic acid (68–82% of the total fatty acids in olive oil), which has been widely studied, and its benefits have been established [7,8,10,11]. Moreover, there is a fraction of microconstituents, such as phytosterols, squalene, tocopherols, phenolic compounds, terpenic acid derivatives, etc. Among them, phenolic compounds, which are known for their remarkable antioxidant activity [1,2,14,15], have attracted the attention of researchers belonging to different knowledge areas. They are characterized by a complex mixture of compounds, which occur in the form of simple phenols, lignan derivatives, secoiridoids, and flavonoids. Secoiridoids and alcoholic phenols (mainly hydroxytyrosol) are present in high amounts in virgin and extra-virgin olive oil [2,5]. These phenolic compounds are characterized by a broad spectrum of biological activities, such as reducing the morbidity and slowing the progression of diseases associated with oxidative stress, due to their well established antioxidant activity [16]. Indeed, over the last decades, research into EVOO phenolic compounds has shown the role that these compounds may play in the prevention or slowing down the development of certain pathologies [17–19]. For this reason, The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved in 2011 a health claim stating that the dietary intake of virgin olive oil (poly) phenols is able to protect blood lipids from oxidative damage. The panel considers that in order to bear the claim, 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives should be consumed daily [20,21]. In addition to their widely studied beneficial effects, the latest research has been focused on the metabolic pathways followed by these compounds, their effects on target organs, and even possible delivery strategies as a means of increasing their bioavailability. The present review studied the relevance of EVOO phenolic compounds with particular emphasis on (a) chemical structure, biosynthesis, and influence factors on the final EVOO phenolic composition; (b) structure–antioxidant activity relationships and other molecular mechanisms in relation to the prevention of many diseases; (c) bioavailability and controlled delivery strategies; (d) alternative source of olive bio-phenols. Thus, the objective of this work is summarizing the scientific state of the art as well as revealing the most innovative arguments for future research based on potential clinical relevance of EVOO phenolic compounds. 2. Methods A literature search was conducted on four electronic databases (PubMed, CrossRef, Scopus and Web of Science). Furthermore, DeCS was used as a descriptor of terms and Mendeley was the reference manager. 2.1. Search Strategy Search terms related to studies of EVOO polyphenols were combined in the following strategies: a) EVOO/Extra virgin olive oil/Olive Oil AND phenol/phenols/polyphenols/phenolic compounds AND properties/health/benefits/oxidative stress/oxidative damage/antioxidant/(anti)cancer/ (anti)inflammatory/cardiovascular/digestive disorders/metabolic syndrome; b) EVOO/Extra virgin olive oil/Olive Oil AND phenol/phenols/polyphenols/phenolic compounds AND chemical structure/ biosynthesis/bioavailability/absorption/distribution/metabolism/delivery strategies/nanoformulations /sources/synthesis/dopamine. Keyword searches allowed identifying the relevant literature adequately narrowed down to our research focus using the inclusion criteria described below without limiting the research to specific objectives of this work (e.g., EVOO phenolic compounds and health benefits, biosynthesis and bioavailability). Antioxidants 2020, 9, 685 3 of 17 2.2. Inclusion Criteria Literature review and research articles published since 1 January 2010, with no restriction of language. Due to the high heterogeneity of the proposed objectives, no quality-assessment scale systems were used to evaluate the compiled studies. Manuscript screening was carried out checking the title and abstract or reading the full text. Regarding the possible beneficial heath properties of phenolic compounds, only those trials carried out with phenolic compounds from extra-virgin olive oil and those that were chemically characterized were included. Experimental trials performed in vitro and in vivo (animals and humans) were included and classified according to their potential studied property. Acute and long-term trials were selected to be analyzed in order to compile the described effects over the time-to-event endpoints. 3. Results and Discussion The literature search provided 2976 studies, which were identified before duplicates were discarded. Among these, a total of 116 articles were finally included after applying the inclusion criteria described in Section2: (a) 29 articles including information about biosynthesis, chemical structure, and influence factors on the final EVOO phenolic composition; (b) 42 articles related to structure–antioxidant activity relationships and other molecular mechanisms in relation to many diseases; (c) 22 of bioavailability and controlled delivery strategies; (d) 15 of alternative source of olive biophenols. Results reveal the most innovative arguments for future research. The most-studied EVOO phenolic compounds were phenolic alcohols and secoiridoids. 3.1. Chemical Structure, Biosynthesis, and Influence Factors on EVOO Phenolic Composition EVOO phenolic compounds have been classified according to their chemical structure into the following main classes: phenolic acids, lignans, flavonoids, phenolic alcohols, secoiridoids, and hydroxy-isocromans [2,5,14,22].

This research, thus, was aimed to study the influence of three different harvesting times on the quality parameters of olives and related oils of three autochthonous Sardinian cultivars, Sivigliana da olio, Semidana, and Corsicana da olio. We evaluated several parameters in olive fruits (dry matter, oil content, total soluble solids, total polyphenol and antioxidant activity) and oils (legal indices, total chlorophylls and tocopherols, single polyphenols and volatile compounds, antioxidant activity). The results obtained in olive fruits showed that all the parameters changed significantly during ripening and seem to confirm that the best harvesting time is that selected by the growers, that is when 70% of olives has just turned dark-colored and the rest is green.

  • Effect of Processing on Phenolic Composition of Olive Oil Products and Olive Mill By-Products and Possibilities for Enhancement of Sustainable Processes
    processes Review Effect of Processing on Phenolic Composition of Olive Oil Products and Olive Mill By-Products and Possibilities for Enhancement of Sustainable Processes Fereshteh Safarzadeh Markhali CEB—Centre of Biological Engineering, Campus of Gualtar, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract: The bio-functional properties of olive oil products and by-products rely greatly on the proportions and types of the endogenous phenolics that may favorably/unfavorably change during various processing conditions. The olive oil industrial activities typically produce (i) olive oils, the main/marketable products, and (ii) olive mill by-products. The mechanical processing of olive oil extraction is making progress in some areas. However, the challenges inherent in the existing system, taking into consideration, the susceptibilities of phenolics and their biosynthetic variations during processing, hamper efforts to ascertain an ideal approach. The proposed innovative means, such as inclusion of emerging technologies in extraction system, show potential for sustainable development of olive oil processing. Another crucial factor, together with the technological advancements of olive oil extraction, is the valorization of olive mill by-products that are presently underused while having great potential for extended/high-value applications. A sustainable re-utilization of these Citation: Safarzadeh Markhali, F. valuable by-products helps contribute to (i) food and nutrition security and (ii) economic and Effect of Processing on Phenolic Composition of Olive Oil Products environmental sustainability. This review discusses typical processing factors responsible for the and Olive Mill By-Products and fate of endogenous phenolics in olive oil products/by-products and provides an overview of the Possibilities for Enhancement of possibilities for the sustainable processing to (i) produce phenolic-rich olive oil and (ii) optimally Sustainable Processes.

Although a potential anticancer activity has been reported, only limited evidence has been provided in cutaneous malignant melanoma. The present study is aimed at investigating the selective in vitro anti-proliferative activity of oleocanthal against human malignant melanoma cells. Since oleocanthal is not commercial available, it was obtained as pure standard by direct extraction and purification from extra virgin olive oil. Cell viability experiments carried out by WST-1 assay demonstrated that oleocanthal had a remarkable and selective activity for human melanoma cells versus normal dermal fibroblasts with IC50s in the low micromolar range of concentrations. Such an effect was paralleled by a significant inhibition of ERK1/2 and AKT phosphorylation and down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression. These findings may suggest that extra virgin olive oil phenolic extract enriched in oleocanthal deserves further investigation in skin cancer.

  • Meet Lycopene Prostate Cancer Is One of the Leading Causes of Cancer Death Among Men in the United States
    UCLA Nutrition Noteworthy Title Lycopene and Mr. Prostate: Best Friends Forever Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5ks510rw Journal Nutrition Noteworthy, 5(1) Author Simzar, Soheil Publication Date 2002 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Meet Lycopene Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among men in the United States. Dietary factors are considered an important risk factor for the development of prostate cancer in addition to age, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and other lifestyle factors such as smoking. Recent studies have indicated that there is a direct correlation between the occurrence of prostate cancer and the consumption of tomatoes and tomato-based products. Lycopene, one of over 600 carotenoids, is one of the main carotenoids found in human plasma and it is responsible for the red pigment found in tomatoes and other foods such as watermelons and red grapefruits. It has been shown to be a very potent antioxidant, with oxygen-quenching ability greater than any other carotenoid. Recent research has indicated that its antioxidant effects help lower the risk of heart disease, atherosclerosis, and different types of cancer-especially prostate cancer. Lycopene's Characteristics Lycopene is on of approximately 600 known carotenoids. Carotenoids are red, yellow, and orange pigments which are widely distributed in nature and are especially abundant in yellow- orange fruits and vegetables and dark green, leafy vegetables. They absorb light in the 400- 500nm region which gives them a red/yellow color. Only green plants and certain microorganisms such as fungi and algae can synthesize these pigments.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) plays an important role in various key biological processes including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression. Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence highlights an age-dependent decline in NAD+ levels and its association with the development and progression of several age-related diseases. This supports the establishment of NAD+ as a critical regulator of aging and longevity and, relatedly, a promising therapeutic target to counter adverse events associated with the normal process of aging and/or the development and progression of age-related disease. Relative to the above, the metabolism of NAD+ has been the subject of numerous investigations in various cells, tissues, and organ systems; however, interestingly, studies of NAD+ metabolism in the retina and its relevance to the regulation of visual health and function are comparatively few.
